128 November 2018 - Part 2/2 Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №128 November 2018 - Part 2/2 Baron Eduard Alexandrovich Falz-Fein died On November 17, Baron Eduard Alexandrovich Falz-Fein died in Vaduz. He was 106 years old. On Saturday morning there was a fire at the Baron’s villa. Arriving at the scene, fire-fighters found Edward Alexandrovich without signs of life. Unfortunately, the last few years he has been bedridden. According to his friend and guardian Adolph Hib, “the causes of the fire have not yet been clarified, the criminal police are engaged in this.” According to Adolf Hib, the Baron will be buried in the family tomb of Falz-Fein in Nice. Edward von Falz-Fein was born on September 14, 1912 in the village of Gavrilovka, the current Kherson region. He is the nephew of the founder of the Askania-Nova reserve, Friedrich Eduardovich Falz-Fein. After the coup of 1917, together with his relatives, Edward von Falz-Fein left for Germany, then settled in France, and then moved to Liechtenstein. In 1932, Falz-Fein won the cycling race among students and became the champion of Paris. The boss of the sports newspaper “LʻAuto” drew attention to him and invited him to become the general correspondent in Germany. In 1936 he was accredited at the Olympic Games in Germany, becoming the best reporter of the newspaper - the "Golden pen". In 1936, Falz-Fein created the Olympic Committee in Liechtenstein and a team to participate in the 1936 Winter Olympics. Falz-Fein was the standard bearer of the Liechtenstein national team at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo and at the 1972 Summer Games in Munich. During World War II, nobody needed sports or a sports reporter. The Baron left journalism and began to engage in tourism. He opened a gift shop in the center of Vaduz. Very soon, it became very popular - all tourist buses stopped there - and he became the “king of souvenirs”. In 1975, at the Sotheby`s auction in Monte Carlo, the baron met Ilya S. Zilberstein, whom the Lenin Library sent to auction to buy a unique Russian edition of a 18th century book from the Diaghilev - Lifar collection. Zilberstein was late, the bidding was over, the Baron bought the book. Edward Alexandrovich with great pleasure presented the book to Zilberstein for the library. So, the case brought the Baron closer to Russia, and Ilya became his friend. Zilberstein was the first in Soviet Russia to write with respect about the Russian emigration in Ogonyok and the Literary Gazette: about Lifar, about Falz-Fein and his collection, about the collection of Diaghilev artists of Prince Nikita Lobanov-Rostovsky. The first major gift of the Baron to his homeland was the part of the Diaghilev -Lifar library consisting of hundreds of books. Back in the late 1970s, Edward Alexandrovich met Julian Semenov. Together they decided to create an International Committee for the return of Russian treasures to their homeland - and this idea linked them together for a long time. The Baron took a direct part in the return of the ashes of Chaliapin to Russia. Feodor F. Chaliapin, the son of the great Russian singer, listened only to him, as a close friend, and gave permission to transport the coffin with his father’s ashes from Paris to his Homeland. After the death of Feodor Fedorovich, the Baron bought the family relics of Chaliapin, who remained in Rome, and donated them to the Chaliapin Museum in St. Petersburg. A lot of manpower and resources were spent by the Baron in search of the Amber Room from the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo, being a member of the international search group. The Amber Room was not found, and the Baron got carried away with the idea of her recovery. He sent grinding machines from Switzerland, special drills, wrote letters “where necessary”, gave interviews to journalists. At his request, Germany returned unique rarities to Tsarskoye Selo, the only thing that was found from the legendary amber room - a chest of drawers and one of the four Florentine mosaics. Thanks to the Baron in the 1990s, two Russian museums appeared. In 1994, he opened the Museum of Suvorov in Glarus, in a Swiss town where they remember the march of the great Russian commander. It was also Falz-Fein who installed the equestrian statue of Generalissimo A.V. Suvorov (sculptor D. N. Tugarinov) in memory of the famous Russian army crossing over the Alps in 1799 on the Saint- Gotthard pass in the Swiss Alps. In September 1995, the Catherine II Museum appeared in Germany, in her homeland, in the small town of Zerbst. Edward Alexandrovich agreed with the mayor that the city would restore the building as a museum, and the baron would give away from his collection exhibits related to Catherine II. His most important action is the organization of the transfer of the famous “Sokolov archive” - the investigative documents on the case of the murder of the Imperial Family in Yekaterinburg. “When we met here with Prime Minister Chernomyrdin,” says the Baron, “I again reminded him of the request of Prince Liechtenstein to return to him the home archives captured by the Red Army in Austria in 1945 as a war trophy. The archives continued to be considered a trophy for half a century, although it is clear that this is not the case - the principality did not participate in the war and remained neutral. The prime minister listened attentively to my arguments and remarked that “I must give something in return,” that is, to make some kind of gift. On my advice, the Prince purchased Sokolov’s papers for $ 100,000, and I agreed to exchange them for his archive. ” He made a significant contribution to the restoration of the Maltese chapel and corps church and became the main initiator of the fact that the corps church, the best in the military educational institutions of Russia, appeared in the St. Petersburg Suvorov Military School and soon the Cadet Museum would open. Therefore, it was not by chance that the honoured guest was given the honour of cutting the ribbon of the first exposition of the cadet museum. One of the paintings of the Vorontsov Palace gallery - “Portrait of Prince Grigory Potemkin” painted by Levitsky - was donated by Baron Falz-Fein. A carpet was returned to the Livadia Palace depicting the family of Nicholas II. Baron Edward Falz-Fein repeatedly visited Ukraine. At his expense, a church was built in the village of Gavrilovka in Kherson region, he allocated funds for the restoration of the Falz-Fein estate in Askania- Novaya and became one of the founders of the Askania-Nova Foundation; handed over to the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine the library of Serge Lifar, which he bought for a considerable amount of money at one of the auctions. Among the awards of Baron Eduard Alexandrovich Falz-Fein are: the Order of Friendship of Peoples (1994); the Order of Honour (2002) presented by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin for his great contribution to the preservation and promotion of Russian culture abroad and patronage activities; the Order of St. Sergius of Radonezh, the highest award of the Russian Orthodox Church (2002) presented by Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II for his contribution to the preservation of the national cultural heritage of Russia; the International Nicholas Roerich Prize in the nomination "Achievements in the field of preservation of cultural values and peacemaking" (2004). In 1998, he received thanks from the President of the Russian Federation. In February 2017, the Baron was awarded the Pierre de Coubertin Medal of the International Olympic Committee for "outstanding manifestations of the Olympic sport spirit", which marked his contribution to the Olympic movement and the development of sports in the Principality of Liechtenstein.

The Imperial Family visited Pokrovsky on the way from the Tobolsk exile to Yekaterinburg, where they were subsequently shot. "In the Pokrovsky village there was a stop, we stood for a long time just against the house of Gregory and saw his entire family looking out the window," Nicholas II wrote in his diary on April 14, 1918. The sign is a slab of black granite, split in two by a cross. On one half of it, the quote from the Imperial diary, on the other, the prophecy of Grigory Rasputin, recorded in numerous memoirs of contemporaries: "They will come to Tobolsk and, before they die, they will see my native village." The initiator and organizer of the installation of the memorial sign is the founder and owner of the private museum Grigory Rasputin in Pokrovsky Marina Smirnova. "It is symbolic that the Imperial Family stayed in Pokrovsky not just in front of the house of Grigory Rasputin, but at the very place where in 1914 an attempt was made on him, where his blood was shed," she said. In 2016, Marina Smirnova, using her own funds, installed a chapel on the site of the house-estate of Grigory Rasputin, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of his death. Today Pokrovskoye is included in the program of the national tourist project "The Imperial Route", which connects cities and villages of Russia related to the House of Romanov.

Lomonosov, 163002, Severnaya Dvina Emb., 17, Arkhangelsk, Russia 2 Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, 26, Yaroslavskoeshosse, 129337, Moscow, Russia Abstract. The development of the construction industry, conducting construction in accordance with standard projects, and transforming the construction materials industry in hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas will make significant progress in solving the housing problem. Industrialization of housing construction is a catalyst for strong growth of the region’s economy and the quality of life of citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of industrialization of the territory’s construction complex and its development potential for increasing the volume of low-rise housing stock. Research tasks: 1) assessment of the need to develop housing construction, including low-rise housing, on a particular territory; 2) development of a methodology for calculating the level of industrialization of construction in the area under consideration to determine the possibility of developing low-rise housing construction in this area in the proposed way; 3) approbation of the method using the example of rural areas of the Arkhangelsk region. It was revealed that the districts of the Arkhangelsk region have medium and low levels of industrialization. The districts that are most in need of an increase in the rate of housing construction have been identified.

    Elisabeth Crowell and Visiting Nurse Education in Europe, 1917-1925 By Jaime Lapeyre RN, Ph.D. Candidate University of Toronto Canada [email protected] and By Sioban Nelson RN, Ph.D., FCAHS Dean and Professor, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing University of Toronto Canada [email protected] © 2011 by Jaime Lapeyre and Sioban Nelson The Rockefeller Foundation’s (RF) Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in France (CPTF) was established in 1917 and included the RF’s first involvement with the training of nurses. During the first few years of the war the RF had formed a War Relief Commission and provided aid to Belgium, Serbia and Poland, as well as other war-ravaged countries, as a result of their continued study of conditions in Europe. Upon the U.S.’s entry into the war, and the formation of the War Council under the American Red Cross, the RF withdrew its War Relief Commission and merged its resources with the Red Cross. One of the areas in most need of help was that of tuberculosis prevention in France. After careful study of this field by Dr. Hermann Biggs, New York State Commissioner of Health, and at the invitation of French authorities, the International Health Board (IHB) of the RF formed the Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in France. The work of the Commission included establishing centers for the training of tuberculosis workers and visiting nurses.1 1 The nurse placed in charge of the Commission’s training program for health visitors was Frances Elisabeth Crowell. Crowell was an American, who after completing her training as a nurse, moved to New York to complete her social work education at the New York School of Philanthropy.

About 5500 B.C. the region was inhabited by Indo-European people, who in turn gave way to Thracian tribes. Today’s Romanians are in part descended from the Getae, a Thracian tribe that lived north of the Danube River. During the Bronze Age (about 2200 to 1200 B.C.), these Thraco-Getian tribes engaged in agriculture, stock raising, and trade with inhabitants of the Aegean Sea coast.
